Apologies for the massive changes in the external API (that's my fault),
and for the terrible codename for this release (that's @tclem's fault).
The detailed overview for the major API changes can be found in the
commit at 72a3fe42fb.
Major new features in this release:
- Real caching and refcounting on parsed objects
- Real caching and refcounting on objects read from the ODB
- Streaming writes & reads from the ODB
- Single-method writes for all object types
- The external API is now partially thread-safe
- Improved reference handling
- New method to list references
- ZLib is now built-in
- Improvements to the Revision Walker
- Tons of bug fixes
Thanks to all the contributors who make this possible.

If cfg_readline consumes the line, then parse_section_header will read
past it and if we read a character, parse_variable won't have the full
name.
This solution is a bit hackish, but it's the simplest way to get the
code to parse correctly.

Save the location of the name in section_out instead of returning it
as an int. Use the return code to signal success or failure.

Expose the tag parsing capabilities already present in the
library.
Exporting this function makes it possible to implement the
mktag command without duplicating this functionality.

List all the references in the repository, calling a custom
callback for each one.
The listed references may be filtered by type, or using
a bitwise OR of several types. Use the magic value
`GIT_REF_LISTALL` to obtain all references, including
packed ones.
The `callback` function will be called for each of the references
in the repository, and will receive the name of the reference and
the `payload` value passed to this method.
The current behaviour of git_index_open{bare,inrepo}() is unexpected.
When an index is opened, an in-memory index object is created that is
linked to the index discovered by git_repository_open(). However, this
index object is empty, as the on-disk index is not read. To fully open
the on-disk index file, git_index_read() has to be called. This leads to
confusing behaviour. Consider the following code:
git_index *idx;
git_index_open_inrepo(&idx, repo);
git_index_write(idx);
You would expect this to have no effect, as the index is never
ostensibly manipulated. However, what actually happens is that the index
entries are removed from the on-disk index because the empty in-memory
index object created by open_inrepo() is written back to the disk.
This patch reads the index after opening it.
Temporary files when doing streaming writes are now stored inside the
Objects folder, to prevent issues when moving files between
disks/partitions.
Add support for block writes to the ODB again (for those backends that
cannot implement streaming).
In the same spirit that git_repository_lookup is no longer available,
add wrappers so the users don't have to cast when closing their
objects.

When the system temporary folder is located on a different volume than the working directory into which libgit2 is executing, MoveFileEx() requires an additional flag.
